How to Play Horde Rush in Fortnite

The Horde Rush mode should appear in the first row of options in the Play tab - right beside Battle Royale and Zero Build. However, if gamers aren't able to locate it right away, they will have to scroll down, and they'll also be able to find it in the By Epic category.

Each player will have two minutes to loot and prepare for battle. Once the timer reaches zero, Cube Monsters will appear. These hostile creatures must be taken down right away before they start to overwhelm the player and their team. Here are the various stages of the Horde Rush game mode:

  • Prepare for Battle
  • Survive
  • Prepare for Battle
  • Follow the Storm
  • Prepare for Battle
  • Survive
  • Follow the Storm
  • Prepare for Battle
  • Defeat the Boss

Gamers should aim for a new high score each time they play this game mode. Horde Rush will be available until the end of the Fortnitemares event, which should come to a close on November 2, 2024, alongside the end of Chapter 5 Season 4.

How to Complete Horde Rush Quests in Fortnite

Horde Rush starts out with only five quests. However, more quests will become available on October 21. Here is how to get through the first set of Horde Rush Quests in Fortnite:

How to Damage Cube Monster Fiends in Fortnite Horde Rush

Damage Cube Monster Fiends (40,000)

Any Cube Monster in Horde Rush is considered a fiend, so as long as gamers continue to deal as much damage as they can while playing the LTM, they should be able to accumulate this number in no time.

How to Collect Score Multipliers in Fortnite Horde Rush

Collect Score Multipliers (10)

Sometimes purple shards will spawn on the map, and these are known as Score Multipliers. It's much easier to rack up points after activating a multiplier. Thankfully, whenever a Score Multiplier spawns in Horde Rush, it'll appear marked on the player's map.

How to Get a KO Streaker in Fortnite Horde Rush

Earn x50 KO Streak

To get a KO Streak in Fortnite Horde Rush, gamers must take down Cube Monsters without allowing the white multiplier line to disappear; the higher their streak, the higher their multiplier will be. If players are able to eliminate 50 Cube Monsters while the multiplier is active, they'll complete this quest.

How to Destroy Cube Monster Spawners in Fortnite Horde Rush

Destroy Cube Monster Spawners (10)

Spawners will appear on the map throughout any Horde Rush match. The most effective way to destroy a Cube Monster Spawner in Fortnite is to hit it with a pickaxe.

How to Defeat the Boss in Fortnite Horde Rush

Defeat the Boss in the final stage of Horde Rush

The player's team must successfully eliminate the boss in order to complete this quest. This means that everyone on the team has to stay alive as they gradually bring down the boss's heal while avoiding the Cube Monster Fiends that will continue to spawn around them.

Horde Rush Rewards in Fortnite

Last year, gamers got free cosmetics for completing Horde Rush Quests, but unfortunately, that's not the case this year. Players will receive 20,000 XP for each Horde Rush Quest that they complete in Fortnite. For completing the first set of quests, they can get as much as 100,000 XP.

More quests are on the way, so it's possible that cosmetics could be added as rewards soon. Until then, Horde Rush is a fun way to increase players' account level in Fortnite.
